I am a sucker for cd bargain bins. I am also a sucker for a band with a great name. These two things came together when I found this disc:
Jon Cougar Concentration Camp "No More Room in Hell". I had vaguely heard of these guys years ago, but never heard them. Turns out there was an interesting story there.
The band started as four friends jamming in the San Diego area. The friends went on to cut some tracks, and join other bands. The Queers, a great surf punk band is one of them. I always liked them, but stumbled on their name. I felt like I was offending someone when I mentioned them... Another member joined The Dwarves. Both bands that I had heard of. JCCC, as they are known has been defunct for many years, but this disc has a lot of raw energy and power. Sounds like it was recorded in a basement in about 45 minutes, but that is a GOOD thing!
I love the bargain bins. You never know what you will find.
